While dates and celebrations vary, Mother`s Day traditionally involves presenting moms with flowers, cards and other gifts.

Eeyore's Birthday Party
2024-05-04 00:00 - 23:59
Eeyore’s Birthday Party certainly attracts a varied crowd. You’ve got hippies, weirdos, furries, responsible parents, dogs, and all other manners of folk attending this adored annual tradition. All-day drum circles, face painting, copious amounts of bubbles, and exotic animals are all yearly occurrences at Eeyore’s Birthday. Essentially, it’s an opportunity to hang out in the sun, (sort of) celebrate a character from Winnie the Pooh, and let your freak flag fly at full mast. To summarize, Eeyore’s Birthday is a wonderfully weird harmony of the varied people whose creative and eclectic spirits make up Austin, Texas.

Passover
2024-04-22 00:00 - 23:59
In the Bible, Passover marks the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egyptian slavery, when God “passed over” the houses of the Israelites during the last of the ten plagues. When the Temple in Jerusalem stood, the paschal lamb was offered and eaten on Passover eve, while the wave offering of barley was offered on the second day of the festival. Nowadays, in addition to the biblical prohibition of owning leavened foods for the duration of the holiday, the Passover seder is one of the most widely observed rituals in Judaism.
